A report by our partners in Chicago: “To effectively repair the harms of mass incarceration, savings generated by criminal legal reforms must be reinvested in the communities most harmed by decades of criminalization.”

About Us

The Bail Project, Inc. is an unprecedented effort to combat mass incarceration at the front end of the system. We pay bail for people in need, reuniting families and restoring the presumption of innocence. Because bail is returned at the end of a case, donations to The Bail Project™ National Revolving Bail Fund can be recycled and reused to pay bail two to three times per year, maximizing the impact of every dollar. 100% of online donations are used to bring people home.

Email Updates

Thank you for reaching out. The Bail Project is in the process of expanding. At this time we can only serve individuals in cities where we have a site. If you or a loved one needs help paying bail in one of the following cities please select your location and complete the form below.
